Full Cloth. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. pp. (16) [Publisher's catalogue], 348 + Large folding map of Egypt. Illustrated with full page engravings. Early inked ownership of Anna Ridgely, Nov. 26, 1856. 12mo. Original full cloth binding, inked stained. Hardbound. Harper's Family Library. No. XXIII. The young Anna Ridgely who owned this book was probably the daughter of Nicholas H. Ridgely, a prominent banker and one of the wealthiest persons in Springfield, Illinois. Father Ridgely was a former Whig who became a Democrat. He did not vote for home-town boy Lincoln in the presidential election. After Lincoln's election, Anna confided to her diary, "We were disappointed, for we had hoped that such a man as he, without the great knowledge of state affairs, without any polish of manners, would not be sent to be the representative of this great nation." Three months later, she and her family came to the Lincoln home for the family's farewell reception. Having earlier expressed her displeasure with Lincoln's election, she now wrote in her diary her impressions of Lincoln. "Mr. L really looked handsome to me his whiskers are a great improvement and he has such a pleasant smile I could not but admire him." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! HOLY LAND BOX 2 Language: eng.
